On April 26, Louise Attaque celebrated with great fanfare the first quarter century of their eponymous album.
A disc that has gone down in history as one of the greatest successes of French-speaking music, with three million copies sold.
In order to celebrate the durability of hits like
J't'emmène au vent
or
Ton invitation
, the formation made up of Gaëtan Roussel, Robin Feix and Arnaud Samuel gave six concerts in less than 24 hours at the Élysée-Montmartre.
What we didn't know yet is that the musicians were working on new songs at the same time, which are on the menu for
Planète Terre
, an album scheduled for November 4th.

On this occasion, the group will find the Barclay label, reactivated after a few years of interruption, like them.
Louise Attaque never responded to a career plan.
The unprecedented scale of their success never constrained them.
They had interrupted eight years before meeting again in 2016 with the disappointing
Anomaly
.
Planète Terre
, their new production, is advertised as a return to basics for the group, which has distinguished itself by its energetic way of making acoustic instruments sound.
At the helm, the American Chad Blake, a big name in the studios, mixed the disc, giving a fairly direct color to the songs.
The disc was recorded at the Frette studios, in Val-d'Oise, a place that has already hosted Nick Cave, Patrick Watson and Charlie Winston.
Out of the Ordinary
, a first extract from the album, will be released on Tuesday, September 6.
And the group has already announced a tour in ten Zeniths for March 2023, extending the 25th anniversary celebration with new songs.
